Lisbon council already has more cases of covid-19 than Greece – coronavirus

The municipality of Lisbon recorded 76 more new confirmed cases of infection with the new coronavirus in the last 24 hours, according to the daily bulletin released this Sunday, June 28, by the Directorate-General for Health (DGS). The municipality of the capital now totals 3,423 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, more than the whole of Greece, which has registered 3,376 accumulated positive cases.

Lisbon, with 509,500 inhabitants (4.95% of the national population), exceeds the number of cases in the Mediterranean country, which has a population of 10.4 million, 20 times greater than that of the Portuguese capital.

In the municipality led by Fernando Medina, there is an incidence of 6.72 cases per thousand residents. In Greece, this figure is only 0.32 cases per thousand inhabitants.

Lisbon Metropolitan Area beats Denmark cases
The outbreak in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Lisbon (AML), which has been accentuated since the lack of definition, on May 4, means that the group of these 18 municipalities has already lost 15,386 infected people. This figure would place the AML in 59th place in the list of countries with the most cases.

Despite having a population of 2.86 million people, the AML has more confirmed cases than countries like Denmark (12.675) or South Korea (12.715), which have populations of 5.8 million and 51.3 million , respectively.

Currently, AML has the four counties with the most cases in the country. In addition to Lisbon, Sintra has 2,564 infected, Loures has 1,791 cases and Amadora surpassed Vila Nova de Gaia this Sunday and has 1,645 positive cases.

Thus, Sintra – which has 391 thousand inhabitants – has only 127 fewer cases than Croatia, a country with a population of 4.1 million.

And the Porto Metropolitan Area has more cases than Norway
After being one of the areas most affected by the pandemic in the first two months, the Metropolitan Area of ​​Porto (AMP) has been experiencing a reduced number of new infections in recent weeks.

Even so, with 9,638 cases, the region, which has 1.7 million residents, exceeds the figures reported by Norway (8.846), a country that has three times the population (5.4 million inhabitants).

In fact, AMP presents a number of cases per thousand inhabitants of 5.58, still above the 5.37 registered in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Lisbon. At the national level, the incidence is 4.04 cases per thousand people.
